Iranian Activists Want the West To Stop Legitimizing Iran’s Regime | GZERO World

The US gov & allies going back to the Iran deal helps the regime to survive, says Masih Alinejad. 

French President Emmanuel Macron recently got flak for shaking the hand of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi. In part to smooth things over, Macron agreed to meet with dissidents — including journalist and activist Masih Alinejad.

Her message to him and the West in general? Recall your ambassadors from Iran and don’t return to the 2015 nuclear deal.

“The only thing can make [the regime] survive [is] the US government and its allies to get back to the deal,” Alinejad tells Ian Bremmer on GZERO World. And let Iranian’s take care of the regime change.

“We, the people of Iran, are doing this and I want them to recognize this revolution and stop legitimizing one of the most barbaric regime,” she says. “Is that too much to ask?”
